Princeton — which was the near unanimous favorite to win the Ivy League — was in firm control of the league throughout the year. But then they fell apart in the final week of th season, losing two games on back-to-back nights and letting Harvard sneak into the automatic NCAA bid.

So it wasn't exactly a storybook season, but at the end of the day Harvard found their way into the tournament and pulled the upset. It just shows how solid of a program coach Tommy Amaker is building there that they were still competitive enough to beat a 3-seed in a "down year."

They thoroughly outplayed New Mexico (who was a trendy Final Four pick among basketball nerds), and it was a deserving win.
